The topics for the classes were unique spin offs based around the subject &#8211; Pirates and poisons, global infections, and screenwriting for the stage were just some of the subjects I was exposed to through the Honors program that I would never have been able to learn about outside of it.  The assignments and projects allowed me to dive deeper into the material in my own way and I connected with faculty and peers on a broader level through our discussions with each class. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/center>\n    <\/div>\n<div class=\"large-6 medium-6 cell left2\" style=\"padding: 5px;\" data-equalizer-watch>\n<p> <!--  2: Richard Forth  --><\/p>\n<p class=\"name\">Richard Forth<\/p>\n<p class=\"info\">Finance<\/p>\n<p class=\"info\">Class of 2020<\/p>\n<p>    <center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/bascom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2019\/11\/student-2.jpg\" alt=\"Richard Forth\" width=\"175\"  style=\"border-radius: 50%;\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"quote\" style=\"margin-left: 10px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px; color: #4a4a4a; font-weight: 700; padding-left: -10px;\">The Honors program encourages students to explore classes they otherwise would not have considered. From the political elections courses to the history of the Vietnam war, they provide an alternative to the vanilla classes students enroll in. This unique class set broadens our perspective in relation to learning. Another luxury of the honors classes is they add an additional credit hour, which helps ensure students have the necessary credits to graduate on time. For me, the extra credits have enabled me to take less classes in my final year and focus on my internship availability and career development.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/center>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"background: #ce1126; margin-bottom: -67px;\">\n<div class=\"grid-container\">\n<div class=\"grid-x grid-margin-x\" data-equalizer>\n<div class=\"large-6 medium-6 cell\" id=\"left-white\" style=\"padding: 5px;\" data-equalizer-watch>\n<p>    <!--  3: VICTOR MARTINEZ  --><\/p>\n<p class=\"name-white\">Victor Martinez<\/p>\n<p class=\"info-white\">Liberal Studies<\/p>\n<p class=\"info-white\">Class of 2020<\/p>\n<p>    <center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/bascom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2019\/11\/student-1.jpg\" alt=\"Victor Martinez\" width=\"175\"  style=\"border-radius: 50%;\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"quote-white\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px; color: white; font-weight: 500; padding-right: 25px;\"><strong>The Bascom Honors Program has afforded me an opportunity to continue growing and evolving as a student and as a person. The unique class structure and the great students and faculty who make up the program have made it one of the favorites parts of my college experience.

In the Fall of 2018, I made the Dean&#8217;s List. I decided to apply for Bascom Honors; I was accepted. So far my favorite part of the program was earning honors hours for Oxford Study Abroad. The semester honors requirements are not difficult to work into my schedule. There is such a variety of events offered to meet our requirements, I have been able to choose several I can attend that interest me. I have made new friends through the program. I hope to fulfill all requirements in order to graduate in May 2020 with Honors.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/center>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"sharing-default-minimal post-bottom\"><div class=\"nectar-social default\" data-position=\"\" data-rm-love=\"0\" data-color-override=\"override\"><div class=\"nectar-social-inner\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"nectar-love\" id=\"nectar-love-69\" title=\"Love this\"> <i class=\"icon-salient-heart-2\"><\/i><span class=\"love-text\">Love<\/span><span class=\"total_loves\"><span class=\"nectar-love-count\">0<\/span><\/span><\/a><a class='facebook-share nectar-sharing' href="#" title='Share this'> <i class='fa fa-facebook'><\/i> <span class='social-text'>Share<\/span> <\/a><a class='twitter-share nectar-sharing' href="#" title='Tweet this'> <i class='fa fa-twitter'><\/i> <span class='social-text'>Tweet<\/span> <\/a><a class='linkedin-share nectar-sharing' href="#" title='Share this'> <i class='fa fa-linkedin'><\/i> <span class='social-text'>Share<\/span> <\/a><a class='pinterest-share nectar-sharing' href="#" title='Pin this'> <i class='fa fa-pinterest'><\/i> <span class='social-text'>Pin<\/span> <\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Bascom Honors Program is a community of students and faculty who love learning, whether it\u2019s about the architecture of downtown St. Louis, the history of 13th century Britain or advanced mathematical theories.
